1

Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, mix cookie mix, butter, egg and flour with spoon until soft dough forms. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from oven; press chocolate in center of each cookie. Return to oven 1 minute. Remove from oven; immediately place 1 pecan half on top of chocolate. Press down slightly. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool 30 minutes.

In small microwavable bowl, heat caramels and whipping cream uncovered on High 30 to 60 seconds, stirring once, until caramels are melted. Drizzle over cookies. Sprinkle with sea salt. Let stand about 2 hours or until set.

Use a cookie scoop to make portioning cookie dough even faster and more consistent.
When baking batches of cookies, use completely cooled cookie sheets. Cookies will spread too much if put on a hot or warm cookie sheet.
